Warning: contains major spoilers for Sophie's WorldManfred, my inner German child, is looking even smugger and more annoying than usual. "I'm not a child any more," he informs me. "I'm grown up. I read Max Frisch's Homo Faber.""You are a child, Manfred," I sigh. "You're only three.""Three and a half," says Manfred with a little less confidence."Three and a half if you like," I agree. "And you didn't understand that book. It was too difficult for you.""Did so," says Manfred."Okay, Manfred," II had to read this for school and it was better than all the other books I've read for school. I actually enjoyed it and it was really quick and easy to read.

I can't believe this book is under the category "unpopular books"!!! this is one of books that have influenced me the most. The story of this man destined to become a robot, ignoring his emotions, trying to avoid suffering and depending always on logic and system, is a story of people in the 20th century. What we know now about emotional intelligence is what Max Faber lacks. If someone is interested in the depths and miseries of the human soul, he should read this book. Morover the language is
Homo Faber was really a suprise for me. It was quite different from what I had imagined it to be. Also, I have to admit that my expectations for it weren't very high. I previously had read Gantenbein by the same author which I didn't like too much. But sometimes it's good to have low expectations for a book: I've often had better reading experiences with novels I wasn't looking Forward to too much than with ones that everyone was raving about. Homo faber is very well written and I literally
What a difference a reread makes. Now I want to seize everybody in turn by the lapels and say 'read this book and then read it again!'.Unusually I know when I had the book for the first time, the Easter of 1995, there's an inscription in my Mother's handwriting on a flyleaf with that date. Now I've read it again, but also read it for the first time. You can't read the same book twice since you never can be the same reader.The narrator doesn't see things that way. He is told: "technology..the
This book is required reading in many schools in Germany. Crazy idea. What are the children supposed to get out of it? And so are the ratings and reviews (here and elsewhere) by the young ones. Unfavorable. I have, I believe, seen the film one time. But have forgotten all about it.Homo Faber is Walter Faber. Engineer. Lives by the motto für einen Ingenör ist nichts zu schwör. Constructs his world around technology. Writes letters in the desert after an emergency landing on a typewriter
